I put a cat collar (breakaway type) on my pups about 10-12 weeks so I can encourage leash breaking. I like the one with a bell on it, so I know where the little devil is.
It is a great time to teach the word (COME) and reward with a treat.
I also never put them to bed with a collar on as pups can do surprising things an get their jaw caught overnight.
I do not use an toxic (flea) collars at all until a pup is over 5 pounds including giving heartworm preventative.
NEVER use a chain choke collar as a day collar. That should only be used for training and working times and NEVER, NEVER during a play session.
